Improvement in tobacco-pipes



UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIoE.

WILLIAM HEYENGA,

OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

IM PROVEMENT IN TOBACCO-PIPES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 208,597, dated October1, 1878; application filed August 22, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM HEYENGA, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Pipes, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadto the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is a longitudinalvertical central section of a pipe made in accordance with my invention,and Figs. 2 and 3 are perspective views of the stem part and bowl part,respectively.

The bowl A, of otherwise ordinary or suitable construction, is providedwith a neck intended to fit in a hole, a, which is formed in the stem Bin such manner as to intersect the central draft-passage b of the stem.This passage b terminates at and opens into the hole, and the neck ofthe bowl is provided with a series of perforations so positioned thatone or more of them, when the neck is inserted in place in the stem,will always register with the passage b. The perforations alsocommunicate with the draft-passage c in the bowl. That part of the neckof the bowl which enters the ho e a may be made in one piece with thebowl itself or may be of any suitable material and construction for thepurpose.

I refer, however, to provide a tubular extension, d, that forms acontinuation of the neck and has the perforations above referred to,these perforations being indicated at f. This part d, which is made ofmetal or other proper material, is closed at its outer end, and forms,when the pipe is in the position shown'in Fig. 1, a cup or receptacle toretain the nicotine, &c.

I prefer to make the tubular receptacle removable, and for that purpose1 provide it with an enlarged ferrule-like end, d, which fits around thebowl-neck snugly. but not so tightly that it may not be removed whendesired.

The part 01, however, may be fixed to the neck and its outer endprovided with a removable cap or cover, which would in a measure answerthe same purpose.

The pipe-stem B, beyond the hole at, widens,

and at this point is formed so as to constitute a cap or cover for themouth of the bowl, as shown at B, a rim, g, on this part of the stemfitting around the bowl, as shown in Fig. 1.

Perforations h are formed in the cover B, to permit air to have accessto the mouth of the bowl when the pipe is in use.

To use the pipe, the neck (1, after the pipe is charged, is insertedinto hole a, the pipe at this time being held with the mouth of the bowluppermost, and the bowl itself turned laterally on the neck d as apivot, so as to be to one side of cover B. In this position the pipe canbe readily lighted.

The neck d is then drawn a little out from the hole a to allow the bowlto clear the rim g, and the bowl is then turned on pivot 01 until itsmouth is brought under the cover B. When this has been done the neck dispressed back into hole a and the bowl into cover B.

The pipe can then be turned so as to bring the bowl uppermost, as shownin Fig. 1. It is preferable to hold the pipe in this position, for thenthe neck (1 acts as a catch-all; but the pipe, if desired, can be turnedto bring the bowl underneath, and can be smoked in that way. In a pipeof this kind the tobacco always remains dry, and the pipe can be smokedanywhere without danger.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is-

l. The combination of the bowl and its perforated neck with the stemformed with a hole or socket to receive the neck, and with a cap tocover the mouth of the bowl, these parts being arranged for jointoperation, substantially as set forth.

2. In a pipe in which the bowl part and stem part are combined, asdescribed, a tubular removable perforated neck-piece, forming at once areceptacle or catch-all and the connecting medium between the bowl andthe stem, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I hereunto affix mysignature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM HEYENGA.
